Fragmented images can change the weight and stability of landscapes by holding them more lightly. I use photographic details of the world around me to create locations and moments that are part real and part imagined. The work combines perspectives, looking at land from far above, underfoot and within the surface, inviting the viewer to inhabit multiple viewpoints in the same moment. Images are taken through a series of processes and pressures - zooming, cropping, repositioning and layering, to create a bigger, hazier space between the original landscape and the resulting image. I think about the vast cycles of water and rock, how they are embedded in each fragment of stone and ice, and how these stories provide rich imaginative freedom from the tiniest objects.
